Front turn signals, taillights, interior lights not working

So, my front corner lights stopped working. They don't blink when I put on the turn signal, nor do they turn on when I turn my headlights on. Same with the rear, although I think they blink when I turn on my signals. Additionally, none of the lights surrounding my media display are working (i.e., radio presets, eject, temperature controls, "dual"...). Nothing works. I can try to get a picture up later tonight if it would help. It started two weeks ago when just the temperature up and down controls failed to illuminate; however, it looks as though this disease has spread. Could this be a blown fuse? Also, I did install a resistor to eliminate hyper-flashing with my front LED switchbacks. I only have LEDs in the front. It has been 4 months or so since I installed that resistor, so I'm not sure it has anything to do with that, but it could.

Hey, in had a similar problem like that but
mine happened after my attempt to put hid reverse
lights. Turned the car on and then turned my
lights on, put it in reverse and then that's when it happened,
My interior and instrument cluster lights weren't on...mine was my
7.5 amp fuse (i think it said interior) in the interior fuse box, so point
being yes check fuses

Okay, I will try that. Which one did you have to replace? I don't want to have to go out pulling out all these fuses blindly in 30 degree weather with snow!

Read the map on the cover to determine what fuse to check

I replaced the 10 amp fuse under the hood in the number 4 spot titled "small lights." Once I hit the unlock button the lights flashed on and the fuse blew instantly. Any chance my LED switchbacks are shorted out and causing some type of surge?

^^^let us know.

WOW, so I'm NOT a moron! When I did my HID reverse lights...same deal for me. But it was fuse #6 under the driver side. Problem was, even after things were disconnected, it kept blowing the fuse immediately. Eventually I put a wire in and jumpered it...it got hot, then back to normal and was fine. After that my door courtesy lights were fried but I didn't care at that point. Was so happy to have fixed the problem.
